RURAL-FREE-DELIVERY-CARRIERS CABINET.

Speccation of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 10, 1908.

Application filed .Tuly 30, 1907. Serial No. 386,293.

To all 'whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BLAIR C. I-IAMER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Vinnebago, in the county of Vinnebago and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rural-Free- DeliveryCarriers Cabinets, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to construct a cabinet for the use of rural free delivery mail carriers which is adapted to be placed in a vehicle in front 0f the carrier in order that ready access may be had to the mail contained therein.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a face representation of my improved cabinet. F ig. 2 is a face elevation in which the front has been removed. Fig. 3 is a transverse section on dotted line a Fig. 1. Fig. l is a vertical section on dotted line 7J Z) Fig. 2.

Io the back 1 of the cabinet are connected the bottom 2 and ends 3. A top l has a hinge connection in this instance with the back 1. A front is composed of the lower section 5 which is permanently connected to the ends 3 and is located some distance above the bottom. To the section 5 is hinged an intermediate section 6 and to the intermediate section is hinged a top section 7. A projection 8 extends from the underface of the top and engages the upper edge of the top section thereby holding the top section from dropping. Two drawers 9 are located beneath the lower section 5. A horizontal partition l0 is located above the drawers and is inclined, being highest at the front of the cabinet. Two vertical transverse partitions 11 and 12 are located near the center of the cabinet. The partition 11 extends the width of the cabinet and serves to support the center of the front. The partition 12 is cut short of the front. Two shelves 13 are located between the partitions 11 and 12 and are inclined downward from their front edge. On the upper face of the horizontal partition is located a partition 14. A hook 15 serves to connect the intermediate section G with the vertical partition 11. To the underface of the top are secured two end sections 16 which exclude rain when the top is raised. This cabinet is intended to be placed in a carriers vehicle in front of the carrier, and as the front recedes at its lower portion more room is allowed for the limbs of the carrier. The drawers serve to receive the carriers supplies. The two end compara ments are for papers, and the center com partments are for letters and postal cards.

I claim as my invention.

A cabinet comprising a back, bottom, ends, a hinged top, and a front composed of a series of hinged sections, the front undercut and being wider at the top than at the bottom.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
